C-Wow and Leah are at a boutique looking at animal prints and acrylic fabric, which inspires C-Wow and her creative fashion juices. I shudder to think of what else she has up her sweatshirt sleeve.
Dave comes over to Renee’s apartment to discuss the business. Dave says he didn’t show up to dinner at III Forks because he wasn’t ready to speak to her. He doesn’t appreciate Renee sending her brass knucks-toting brother to mad dog him at his own shop. Well, she had her own shit to deal with, huh? She wasn’t off on no freakin’ island sipping drinks and eatin’ bon-bons. She was busy befriending her enemy’s enemy. Oh, and she had a custody battle to go through, as well. Dave wasn’t there for her and he starts to look a bit guilty. I think this is when you’re supposed to break up, honey. Dave claims to be a guy that doesn’t want to deal with drama, which includes life’s important moments. Dave thinks they will be OK as long as they can get away from everyone else around them. He has two tickets to Boston and a car will be downstairs Friday AM. If she goes, she goes. If she doesn’t, they tried their best.
My heart just skipped a beat at the extreme romance being displayed here.
What is with these women and their midget badasses? It’s hard for me to be intimidated by a guy a foot shorter than me. Of course, anyone who’s a foot shorter than me is either a dwarf or a child.
Pia schmoozes with daughter Bella and tells her all about her super-couture photo shoot. Her nipples were blurred out through her bra, but Bella should just think of it as a bathing suit. Because she wasn’t in a thong and in a seedy motel room, Bella should appreciate its glamour.
So, C-Wow goes to see the owner of the boutique that inspired her and is offering to be her intern. This girl is literally a girl, which is hilarious to see someone her mom’s age asking to be an intern. C-Wow tells her that she went to Columbia College, but the designer is surprised to learn that C-Wow didn’t learn Photoshop or Illustrator there. Well, back in 1987 I don’t believe they had those programs yet. That was also back before this particular designer was born.
OMG u r so old
C-Wow has no idea who Alexander McQueen is and thinks he’s a woman. I’m pretty mannish, but I still think that anyone interested in the male species should know who Alexander McQueen is. She gets hired, because the designer needs the publicity and has no shame as to where she gets it.
Leah meets up with Pia, armed with a device to keep her head from exploding.

Good recap…thanks
Holy shit. I just watched the bonus clips and Giana has a step-brother/sister her age. He dad got someone else preggers the same time Renee was. Ouch.
HA! Leah gets mad at the funniest things. Why not just say I was upset about you guys leaving the group? Instead of I am mad b/c you call Renee “Ree Ree”. Even I would sit back and think WTH is wrong with this chick.
Renee doesn’t bother me as much as Pia. I can see why Renee probably kept her distance from Nora because she has mopped the floor with the girl. TWICE. But Pia should have been able to walk with the group. She’s been friends with those other ladies for a long time and Renee thought you were a whore from the beginning when they other girls accepted your “career”.
Pia does have a hot body. I think that helps with modeling more than anything. On top model they say they are unique which to me is code for ugly.
I think Leah was crying during the cancer walk cause her feet were killing her! Who wears high heels during a how ever many mile walk?
Oh my God, Featherhead! You know that didn’t even dawn on me. How bad does it mean it is when I watch a reality show and don’t even think anything of a woman wearing stilettos during a cancer walk??? Holy shit, my whole perspective is permanently scarred by reality shows.
So let me get this straight…stopping stripping in a club where people can stick cash money in your undies to start stripping and posing for a camera where no one sticks cash money in your undies is a move up the career ladder? Hmm…seems backwards because don’t you see stories all the time about the “fresh young face” with the “modeling contract” that ends up stripping? So who has been lying to me all this time – Hollywood or Mob Wives Chicago?
@Sugarbush – I had to rewind it to make sure I wasn’t imaging things, yep Leah had on some bootie heels while everyone else was smart enough to wear sneakers.
“Next thing you now, Ree-Ree is going to be leaving her sister’s wedding only to find Pia leaning up against her red Porsche. ”
I think I just fell in love with you! <3
@Labowner – re: Comment 2…”step” or “half”? I thought I heard step in the bonus clips, not half…
HA! Pia said “that was a hard nut to swallow”. I was in tears laughing and my 29 year old brother (I am the older sister) told me to grow up.
hahahahaha @Classy…..me too! When she said that I couldn’t believe there wasn’t a double take or something on the interviewer’s part.
And OH MAH GAH, I absolutely love when Nora tries to put words together to come up with metaphors. It is just train-wreck, laugh-out-loud, cringe-worthy awesomeness, but last night she was on fire. I gotta start writing this shit down.
“When she said that I couldn’t believe there wasn’t a double take or something on the interviewer’s part.” I assume those ladies are more mature than we are Nikki
Leah sprinkled us with some Italian slang last night also! She called Pia something that I couldn’t repeat but I want to if any one can decipher what she said.
@Classy – it was one of her terms from a previous episode. That one that means “hard headed” or something. I backed it up a few times just to be sure. lol She needs to start using new words so we can hold our own when trying to fit in with the mafiosas of Chi-town.
